Chapter 16 Leaving the Village and the Assassination at the Root

Although she was secretly grumbling in her heart.

But in front of Uchiha Guang, Mao Yue Xi Yan did not dare to refute: "If it is a civilian, the discipline is indeed not so strict, but it is also necessary to make a registration... I will tell the captain. But are you sure where you are going?"

Silence.

After more than ten seconds, Mao Yue Xi Yan chose to follow her heart again: "Okay, as long as you are happy."

Mao Yue Xi Yan waited for a while, and seeing that Uchiha Guang did not intend to reveal more information, she stood up and said goodbye.

After she left, Uchiha Guang closed the doors and windows, urged Naruto to go to bed, and washed himself to prepare for tomorrow's trip.

...

Late at night.

On the outskirts of Konoha, the Root Base.

In the dim room, the lights flickered.

The man with bandages on his body sat at the table, listening to his subordinates' reports.

"...You mean, that female Uchiha purchased a large number of ninja tools and may leave Konoha in the near future?"

"From the current situation, it is very likely."

The Root Ninja wearing a gray-white mask responded truthfully: "Just an hour and a half ago, Uzuki Yugao left the Jinchuriki's house and went to see Sarutobi Shinnosuke. It is very likely that she will report that the female Uchiha is going to leave the village, and the time is likely to be within one or two days."

"Hmm..."

Danzo nodded, looked through the investigation materials on the table again, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "A, implement Plan B."

"On the basis of the original personnel, add three to four more people, and you will decide the candidates. The target is the eyes of the female Uchiha. As for her... Fight with all your strength, regardless of life or death! No matter what situation you encounter, make sure the plan is completed smoothly!"

"Yes."

The gray-white mask nodded immediately, then got up and left.

In the room.

Danzo sat at the table, staring at a candle in front of him. The faint flames flickered, stretching his figure very long.

"Monkey is old and confused. He can't even figure out such a simple question. In this case... I have to make the decision for you. Such a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan must not be controlled by Uchiha."

"All I did was for Konoha!"

...

The next morning.

Just after half past six, Uchiha Hikaru got up from the bed, brushed her teeth, tied up her long hair, and changed into her travel coat.

When she was counting her backpack, there was a rustling sound from Naruto's side, and then she saw the little yellow-haired boy standing at the door of the bedroom, holding the door frame with both hands, looking over here eagerly.

"Awake?"

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at him: "I almost told you everything you need to pay attention to yesterday. The bottom layer of the refrigerator is meat and seafood. I have bought a week's supply. Dumplings and noodles are in the middle, and vegetables and fruits are on the top. They are easy to spoil and need to be eaten as soon as possible..."

"The change is on the table, and I hid the passbook in the cabinet. Under normal circumstances, it should not be used. Be careful not to lose it. That is all your father's property."

"If anything happens in the village during my absence, write it down first, and I will go to them to settle the accounts when I come back."

Uchiha Hikaru roughly explained what he was going to say, and then waved his hand: "Let's go."

Under Naruto's reluctant gaze, Uchiha Hikaru left home.

At this time, there were not too many people on the street, and only a few shops were open. However, Shenyue Izumo and Gang Zitie, a pair of perennial extras, were already guarding the gate of Konoha Village. They seemed to have received the notice, and when they saw Uchiha Hikaru coming, they let him go directly.

After leaving the village, Uchiha Hikaru glanced behind him.

As expected, someone followed.

The breath was like that of Uzuki Yugao.

Her trip out of the village was indeed a bit abrupt in the eyes of Konoha, and it was foreseeable that Sarutobi Hiruzen was curious about her destination. Uchiha Hikaru had been prepared for this. After walking slowly forward for a while, she concentrated her chakra under her feet and rushed into the woods beside the road.

It was not easy to get rid of the pursuers on a flat road.

But it was different in this deep and dense forest with dim light.

According to the original plan, Uchiha Hikaru first opened up a distance, created several false directions along the way, and walked a long distance into the depths of the dense forest before stopping by a stream and scooping up a handful of water to splash on his face.

Judging from the thick fallen leaves around, this should be a place where few people go.

But...

"Huh..."

Uchiha Hikaru closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then turned his head suddenly, looking at the deep forest behind him.

Sharingan opened!

In his red eyes, two figures squatting on the tree trunk were reflected. If it weren't for the excellent observation ability of the Sharingan, Uchiha Hikaru might not have noticed their existence at all, but would have regarded them as part of the tree.

"It's really like sticky candy... Don't you understand the tacit understanding at all? You have to hold on to it?"

The next moment.

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly stood up, his figure flashed from the spot, and disappeared in the bushes next to him.

"?"

A hundred meters away.

The two masked stalkers were stunned for a moment, broke away from the disguise, opened their eyes wide, and scanned the surroundings nervously. Suddenly, one of them raised his head and warned in a low voice: "Up there!!"

The sound of wind rose and fell!

The figure of the black-haired girl flew across the night sky like a civet cat, and fell from above the two ninjas under the cover of the dense tree canopy.

The moment their eyes met, one of the stalkers swung a kunai, while Uchiha Guang kicked the tree trunk beside him, and the whole person jumped out like a cannonball, first with a crisp roundhouse kick to sweep down the person in front of him, then quickly grabbed the wrist of another ninja who was stabbing at him, and with the inertia of the dive, he hit him in the stomach with an elbow.

Bang!

The masked ninja staggered back two steps, stepped on the air, and fell down.

Uchiha Guang also jumped out, and added a palm knife in the air, making the ninja fall into a baby-like sleep before landing.

Bang!

After landing lightly, Uchiha Hikaru stood up again, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the other side of the dense forest:

"You have been hiding for so long, and you are not going to come out?"

"..."

The crisp female voice echoed in the woods.

Soon.

A cluster of falling sounds were heard in the forest.

Around Uchiha Hikaru, in several different directions, more than ten figures emerged like bamboo shoots after rain. Everyone wore a mask and stood on the surrounding trees, boulders, and clearings in the forest, looking straight at her with emotionless eyes.
